vimiOGrsar< Thursday, September!, 1999 Number 2 Tekautz honored in naming of Heritage Hall By Sarah Aue Editor-in-Chief Clarion/Photo by Matt Lang The new dorm whose name appeared to be the "278-bed Residence Hall" for many months has finally been given a name. Heritage Hall was chosen for the dorm where individuals will be honored for their servanthood and dedication to the Bethel community. Keith Tekautz, the hardworking "Janitor for Jesus" will be honored for his 39 years of service at Belhel. Along with being a faithful worker, Tekautz supported the Royals athletic teams by going to any games he could fit in his schedule. "He just eats, lives and breathes Bethel," said Physical Plant co-worker Brian Peterson. Tekautz is not only dedicated to the Bethel com- munity, but he is also a leader among his co-workers in Physical Plant. "It's hard not to be energetic when he is around," said Al Monson, "He pushes you to do more as you see him working so hard." Affectionately known as "The Crusher," Tekautz is rarely seen without a smile, although you will almost always hear his booming greeting first. These arc the meaningful qualities that students will remember as they see his picture in the lobby of Heritage Hall. Conference ends with few answers Mission statement and proposed amendment remain possible issues By Christina Rankins Managing Editor The Baptist General Conference and the Bethel College Board of Trustees held their annual meeting in St. Petersburg, Fl. last June to discuss and vote on various issues that will directly affect the Bethel community. High profile issues included the proposed mission statement and the proposed amendment to the BGC's affirmation of faith. Last semester, a committee of faculty members and administrators worked to revise the Bethel College mission statement in order to better meet North Central Association's requirements for accreditation. Revisions were presented at an open hearing in May, and were considered at the conference in June. No decision has been made concerning the mission statement or the revisions, but committee members and other faculty and staff will continue to examine it. "We agreed that we need to keep working on a concise way of telling other people what our mission is," said Jay Barnes, Provost of Academic Affairs. The board agreed that the traditional student population should continue to draw from people who are of the Christian faith, and that the Con- Bethel Clarion/Photo by Matt Lang The school year is upon us again and with it, Welcome Week and the sleep-deprived Welcome Week staff. In their bright red shirts, they took over "the Hill" and busily shuttled belongings to the surprised freshmen's rooms .

Photo Spread on pages 6 & 7 Introducing Class of 2003 to Bethel By Carin Larson News Editor Over 750 new faces will be walking the halls of Bethel College this fall, eating in the Dining Center for the first time and beginning their four year long email addiction. The Class of 2003 has arrived, bringing with it energy and enthusiasm as it enters college and a new millennium. "As we have interacted with the new students during move-in and have had other contacts with them, every indication says that they are equal and eager to begin," said Judy Moseman, Vice President of Student Life. "We are delighted to gel to know them." What is known of them so far is sure to spark some interest. One new freshman scored a perfect 36 on Ihe ACT test. Another student owns and operates his own web design business and one Student is an evangelist and has led crusades around the world. When one throws in two dozen valedictorians and a set of twins, you have a unique Class of 2003 that holds a wealth of experience to offer the Bethel community. Welcome Week activities encouraged the joining of the new class with current members of the community through core group leaders and Taste of Bethel booths, which introduced students to many possible extracurricular activities. During the Welcome Week Kick-off, President Bmshabcr called new students to link arms with each other, staff and faculty as all seek to become women and men of God. "Belhel is a place where we want you to become wise and discerning and be filled with a sense of values," Brushaber said. "Our faith is al the heart of who we are and what we do." Of the 750 new students, 625 are freshman, 127 transfers, and 37 re-admits. Two students join Bethel as exchange students from Daystar University in Kenya and three others are international students as well. tinuing Studies population will continue to draw from a broader group. Board members will vote on the revised statement in October. In November 1998, the Concerned Pastors of the BGC presented a resolution to interpret the BGC's affirmation of faith. Last semester, they concluded that they should propose an amendment to the affirmation rather than a resolution, and in the spring they debated the wording of the proposed amendment. At this year's conference both the Concerned Pastors of the BGC and the Committed Pastors of the BGC discussed the positives and negatives of amending the affirmation of faith. Every staff and faculty member reaffirms the statement of faith when they sign their con- continued on page 2 New addition brings needed space to the Clauson Center By Petra M. Wonders StaffWmer After a long wait, the additions to both ends of the Clauson Center (formerly the Fine Arts building) are almost complete. The addilons will add 34,000 square feet to the campus at a cost approximately 6.5 million dollars. The additions will be completed within the next few weeks and will offer something for everyone. As the Board of Trustees brought into effect the official name of the Clauson Center, students may be noticing there is now much more than fine arts in these buildings. While the departments and offices previously found in the Clauson Center (CC) have had extensive remodeling and additions, there are continued on page 3
